The girls were born on November 16th, 2007, 16 weeks early. Mallory Kate – 1 lb 8 oz, Evan Reese – 1 lb 1 oz, and Kelby Grace – 1 lb 5 oz. Upon their delivery, Mallory and Kelby were transferred to St. David’s South and were doing fairly well considering the circumstances. Our little Evan Reese was a fighter, but she had a lot of problems and she was with us for about 5 hours. We love you Evan and we miss you everyday, but we know we’ll see you again one day. Mallory and Kelby both went through a lot in their 105 day stay in the hospital, from heart surgeries, to brain bleeds, to infections. Many prayers were answered and we thank God everyday for everything He has done for them. Today they are perfectly healthy and growing bigger and stronger everyday. We started this blog to keep everybody updated on their progress. You can scroll down to the bottom of the page for a slideshow from the NICU days.

Pig- Tails!


Mallory's hair is now long enough to actually fix. From day one neither Mallory nor Kelby have wanted anything on their head or in their hair. Friends, family and strangers are always asking "Won't they wear bows?" To which we always sigh and say "We try, but they yank them out." The girls ask for bows all the time, but once we get them in their hair, you can almost count down the seconds before they pull them out. However, yesterday Mallory let me put her hair in pig tails. I took tons of pictures on our camera and drove her nuts talking about how cute she looked. Surprisingly today, she let me fix her hair again AND she asked for bows!! If this trend continues, I will have to get busy making hair bows. (now if her bangs will just grown out long enough to pull back.)
